The Potomac Village Garden Club welcomed four Girl Scout troops to an Oct. 31 event in the award-winning garden which the club has landscaped at the Potomac Village Library for more than the last 10 years.
The event led to the Scouts receiving at least three badges according to their age level since the program included community service by planting bulbs, learning landscaping hints, learning about the uses of plants, pruning the trees, identifying and removing invasive weeds, and collecting seed pods of milkweed for helping to develop areas which will help in the migration of the Monarch butterflies.
Twelve members of the Potomac Village Garden Club set up stations for the girls to work from. The event coincided with the birthday of Juliette Gordon Low who started the Girl Scout movement.
